I don't own the Powerpuff girls or any related characters. I do own Leviathan, Sezu, Kisu, Delu, Glyja, Beelzebub, and the six dark puffs.
Leviathan growls and flexes his talons. This feeling of pain, the feeling of danger, it is rushing through his veins, keeping his senses on full alert, probing his mind to its fullest extent. In every way it is the greatest thrill he's ever faced in his entire life. But his pleasure is ruined, by the nagging voice in the back of his mind. Not just one reason, but several. His brother, Malebolgia, had always been inferior to him that was a fact of the universe! How could Malebolgia possibly be putting up this much of a fight? Sure a massive load of his power is still held back, but he should easily be able to crush his lesser brother. But here he is, fighting for his everlasting life against Malebolgia of all people. And to make matters worse…he can feel the fear of loss burning in the back of his mind. The possibility that Malebolgia could ruin everything he'd planned from the beginning of time. No that can't happen! It was unfair enough that Malebolgia was given Belial! He didn't deserve to rule the universe! He didn't deserve anything! As much as it burns him, Leviathan has and always will be insanely jealous of Malebolgia. Malebolgia was inferior to him in every way, but he was given the perfect soldier that would have made Leviathan unstoppable. Instead Leviathan was given Blaze…a worthless demonic soldier, not even an Alpha Class demon. Blaze was little more than an advanced Bottom Class demon, and to top it all off she was born sensitive to the world around her. True, Blaze can achieve a Bottom Demon God class power when she entered her Nuclear State, but that power was so unreliable and controllable it didn't matter. Here he was with two Upper Omega Class demon daughters, and a third who isn't even an Alpha…then Malebolgia. Malebolgia was given the one key he needed, Belial. Belial is an Upper Omega Class demon, ruthless and dominant by nature. She could have easily joined Blitz and Blood and led Hell's army into Heaven's gates and won within moments. But no…MALEBOLGIA GOT HER!
Malebolgia is also experiencing several feelings at once. The first and most prominent is fear, fear of his brother's wrath. Even though his heart has led him into this fight, promising to bring him out with victory, he can't deny the agonizing fear burning his chest. The second is the thrill, the rush, the power of being able to make Leviathan sweat. After so many years of living in his brother's shadow, Malebolgia is finally able to show him just what pain is. Leviathan had always sickened him, always made him burn with anger. Not just because he has always forced his superiority upon others, but because of his methods of doing things. Kill first; never ask a question that was all Leviathan is about. Senseless and meaningless destruction just for the sake of destroying things. Malebolgia just can't stand that mindset. What's the point of ruling the universe when there's nothing left to rule? And then there is the matter of his daughters…that is the part that burns Malebolgia more than anything else in the universe. Leviathan acts as if his daughters are nothing more than expendable pawns in this war between them and Heaven. How can Leviathan possibly be that way? There's no word in the universe that can ever describe the absolute hatred Malebolgia feels for Leviathan, not even Mephisto could generate more hate. And now here they are…finally at each other's throats once more, only this time it's for keeps. Only one of them is going to walk away and by God it's not going to be Leviathan.
"How about I make you a deal Malebolgia? We can stop this useless violence and settle this peacefully, like the…" before he finishes, Leviathan's eyes burst into red flames. He screams and snarls his teeth grinding together like a million nails on a chalkboard. "WHAT! WHAT HAS HE DONE? HE KILLED THEM! HE KILLED MY SOLDIERS!" Leviathan screams into the void. He snarls and begins dripping saliva onto the ground. "Beelzebub…BEELZEBUB! He'll never get away for this…he'll never get away for betraying me like this! All I have left is Bl…" Leviathan stops and thinks for a few moments, then stands up and regains his composure.
"What's the matter Leviathan? You almost look like you care about the death of anyone but yourself," says Him sarcastically. Leviathan grins, although it is clear he is burning inside.
"My dear general just killed Blitz and Blood…leaving me without a reliable soldier to lead my army…" he says through clenched teeth, trying his hardest to not break down into his primal snarling and roaring. Him laughs and shakes his head.
"You should know the Jester isn't trustworthy, he's been plotting your downfall since the days of the second Omniverse." He says before laughing at his brother's burning fury. Leviathan growls against his will and clenches his talons.
"I was about to make a deal to end this Malebolgia. I'll spare your life, and I'll even spare Bomb and Battle's lives. All I ask is that you give me Belial-" Him bursts into laughter the second that passes Leviathan's lips. Leviathan looks at him in confusion, honestly confused about what is so funny about what he just said.
"You really think I'll give you any of my daughters just to save my own skin? I'm not like you Leviathan; I don't live wrapped up in my own desire. I wouldn't trade one of them for rule over the entire Omniverse." He begins laughing again, which causes the rage within Leviathan to burn hotter. Leviathan snarls and loses his self-control, howling with unholy fury. His howl tears holes in the void, holes in the second level of Hell. Him braces himself against the blasting wind being generated by Leviathan's voice. Leviathan continues screaming, his body bursting into red light and changing. Him snarls and bursts into green light. The two lights glow brighter and brighter, tearing the void around them apart in an earth shattering super nova.
The Lake of FireThe hells have been torn asunder, leaving behind only the black palace on the third level and the lake of fire, which makes up the first level. The burning lake of fire seems relatively normal at the moment. Soon Leviathan appears above it, snarling to himself. He has grown much taller, to about the size of a skyscraper. He is still very slim and lithe, his skin smooth and hard. His face has changed to that of a wolf with a massive black mane. He roars and spreads his wings out all the way, covering a large portion of the lake of fire.
Just then a massive pillar of fire erupts from the lake, driving Leviathan back. The being that rises from the flames dwarfs the Lord of Darkness, being at least twice as tall. He has tight orange skin, stretched over his bony frame with little to no muscle mass. His hands are huge five-fingered talons, clenching and unclenching while burning with violent hellfire. His head looks almost human, but his bottom jaw is much longer than his top jaw, he has no nose, and his eyes are burning green orbs of solid fire. He has long a long black mane of hair, burning like dark fire above the lake. He roars as two long horns slowly protrude from his head and point into the air. Then he hunches down and laughs at Leviathan, who has taken a step back.
"Unlike you brother, my true self has been free this entire time. And I intend to kill you before yours becomes available," says Malebolgia, whose mouth isn't exactly moving with his words, it's more like a mental process of speaking. Leviathan snarls and floats up to Malebolgia's eye level. He snarls, feeling more and more hatred for his brother, and more and more absolute terror when faced with Malebolgia's true form.
"You'll never defeat me Malebolgia, not now, not ever! Even if I have to die a thousand deaths I will never let you take my place!" Leviathan holds out his talons and fires a massive beam of red energy at Malebolgia. Malebolgia laughs and fires a wave of fire from his mouth, which is accompanied by the screams of the damned. His devastating HellFire attack tears through Leviathan's own attack and sends him flying backward into the lake. Leviathan gets up and snarls. Malebolgia grins and lifts his hands. Instantly green bolts begin firing out at Leviathan, who quickly puts up his hands to block the onslaught. It's all for nothing; however, he takes much damage from the relentless assault of his currently much stronger brother.
Leviathan howls again, unleashing a massive burst of red light, which drives even Malebolgia back. He snarls and flies at Malebolgia, trying to catch him off guard. Malebolgia quickly grabs Leviathan's head and smashes him into the lake. He pulls him up and blasts him with his HellFire from point blank range, then flings him across the lake. Malebolgia leaps the distance and lands on Leviathan. He then begins to punch his brother with increasing fury in each blow.
Leviathan catches Malebolgia's fists, and tries to push them back. His brother laughs and begins holding him down under the fire. While this isn't hurting Leviathan at all, it is certainly humiliating. Leviathan releases all of his power outward, managing to knock Malebolgia back. Leviathan floats up into the air, snarling with cracks all over his body. Red light is pouring from between the cracks, like the unholy deadlight beyond reality. He howls again and his body shatters, letting the red light flood the lake of fire. Malebolgia gasps in fear and steps backward. The light fades revealing that the Goddess' Seal had finally been weakened enough for Leviathan to break it. The Lord of Darkness has finally returned.
"They're losing Malebolgia…hahahaHAHAHAAHAHA! They've already lost! At least Beelzebub has done something useful." Leviathan is now a giant monster, slightly taller than Malebolgia. His body is a mass of muscles, the exact opposite of Malebolgia's. His skin is solid black and hairless. His hands are massive five-fingered talons. His powerful legs, ending in his monstrous feet, his colossal arms and massive hands, the perfect image of power. His head is that of a wolf, with solid red orbs burning with all the evil of the universe as eyes. He has a long black mane that doesn't look like fire like Malebolgia's and two giant black-feathered angel wings, covering almost the entire expanse of the lake of fire.
"It doesn't matter. They'll kill Beelzebub and I'll kill you Leviathan. This is over, the age of darkness is finished and I will usher in the age of cruelty!" screams Malebolgia. Leviathan laughs darkly and boldly.
"Then let's continue, I'm quite enjoying your slow, painful demise!" Leviathan crosses the distance between himself and Malebolgia, the distance from Tokyo to London, in a single moment. The two demon gods vanish into thin air, moving faster than anything their size has a right to move. They appear all across the lake of fire, locked in mortal combat, both trying desperately to overpower the other. Malebolgia grabs Leviathan's mane and slams his face into the ground. Leviathan backhands him across the lake, then appears above him and slams both fists down on his chest. Malebolgia claws him across the face then leaps back and fires his HellFire at him. Leviathan opens his own mouth and fires back a burst of darkness. The two attacks collide and create a nova that would have destroyed the universe if it weren't for the protection around the lake of fire. The two appear high above the fire, trading punches and kicks faster than even thought can comprehend. Pillars of fire have begun to rise from the lake of fire, explosions happening randomly in mid air. Even the unholy Lake of Fire is beginning to crumble from the demon gods' war.
Leviathan flies up into the air and releases a massive black bolt from his hands. Malebolgia lands in the flames and vanishes. He kicks Leviathan in the head and sends him stumbling back, then fires a giant orange bolt at him. The explosion tears open a black hole in the middle of the lake of fire. The two fire at each other again, further tearing the dimension that is fighting in apart. Leviathan tackles Malebolgia out of the air and into the fire. He then begins punching him with unbridled fury. All of his excitement about the fight is now gone, all that remains is the will to survive and the mind numbing fear of defeat. Malebolgia howls and sends him flying backward. The two rise once more, facing off in a showdown that will determine the fate of the universe.
"You'll never win Leviathan…I'll never let you WIN!" screams Malebolgia, his voice permanently stuck in its low octave. Leviathan laughs, his own voice stuck in its high raspy snakelike octave.
"You don't get it Malebolgia. This fight has been determined since the beginning of time. I can't lose, because fate dictates that I am the superior demon. I AM the demon god…no…I AM GOD! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Malebolgia snarls and resists the urge to tremble.
"Regardless of what you belief, I will never let you win!" Leviathan laughs again and once more the war between the demon gods begins again, slowly tearing the lake of fire apart, coming one step closer to losing their fight on the universe, which will inevitably be completely destroyed if that should happen.
